About this ebook

Knoxville Coyotes football heartthrob Cohen Miller is my brother’s best friend. Now, he’s the man posing as my fake boyfriend. Simple, right? Wrong.

I thought my luck couldn’t get worse than when my long-term boyfriend publicly dumped me. Wrong again. Now, my ex is dating my cousin, and our friend group is embarking on an annual ski trip.

Desperate to save face, I beg Cohen to pretend to like me. To bluff wanting me. To lay it on thick to convince my friends that I’m not heartbroken or hurt. I’m not damaged goods. That I have, in fact, moved on.

But during the trip, things change. Cohen’s longing glances make my heart race. His casual, familiar touches stir up new feelings. And his kiss? His kiss makes me yearn for things I’ve never experienced before. 

Toss in one bed, an epic snowstorm, and a gossip circle a mile wide, and I’m praying we don’t fumble our fake relationship. 

Obviously, I’m always wrong.

Ratings and reviews

Cohen and Raia have known each other for years but when Raia comes back home to recover from her injury, Cohen sees her in a new light. When he knows that Raia has to go to a trip with her friend group including her ex and her cousin who is her ex's now girlfriend Cohen who is a friend of Raia's brother volunteers to help her. The story should be excellent because Cohen is sweet and swoon-worthy but at the same time, I think it's a little bit typical for brother's best friend romance. Plus Raia's issues cause the story a little angsty and I feel like it shouldn't be that way (I still don't know why I feel this and that's why I didn't review the book after I finished reading it.) Anyway, I'm still waiting for the second book in the series because second chance is one of my most favorite tropes and I'm a sucker for it!

I was so excited when I heard that Azzi was releasing a new series. Faked and Fumbled is Knoxville Coyotes Footballer Cohen Miller’s story. When Raia asks Cohen to pretend to be interested in her on an annual ski trip, she has no idea how complicated her life is about to become. i enjoyed their journey as they moved from friends to lovers and had a hard time putting this book down when real life got in the way.

I really loved this book..think of an emotion..it has it..think of relationships and their ups and downs..it's there. I laughed, cried and was fully vetted in the family and friends dynamics. And boy it is steamy when fake turns real. 💞🔥♋💥🔥‼️😉
